Reflections on Our 100% Local Valentine’s Flowers in New England
As I look back on this past week, I’m overflowing with gratitude and awe. Last year marked our first Valentine’s offering of 100% locally grown flowers—a dream that once felt so distant. Now, standing in a tunnel of February blooms feels both familiar and miraculous, proof of how much we’ve grown in just one year.
Leading up to Valentine’s, the farm buzzed with a joyful energy as we harvested and arranged armfuls of blooms brimming with care. While it may look like work to others, to us it’s pure delight—each bouquet is a chance to share a little love from our farm to someone’s home.
Farm-to-table took on a whole new meaning when visitors arrived just as fresh buckets of blooms were coming in—truly farm-to-table in every sense! Early birds showed up, new faces discovered the magic of locally grown flowers, and longtime friends reminded us just how much it all means.
Transforming this land, growing flowers in winter, and watching our community embrace them has been a true labor of love.
To everyone who visited, preordered, spread the word, or cheered us on—thank you. You are the heart of this farm, and your support means more than words can say.
Here’s to love, growth, and community—and to cherishing the moments that matter most.

As another season comes to a close here at the farm, I’ve been reflecting on how much Rooted Flowers has grown and evolved. Each year feels like a whirlwind of planting, tending, harvesting, and planning for what comes next. With so much happening behind the scenes, I wanted to take a moment to gather everything we’re offering this holiday season in one place.
Bloom & Brunch: A Mother’s Day to Remember
This past Motherʼs Day, we opened the gates to Rooted Flowers for our very first Bloom & Brunch, and what unfolded felt like something out of a dream. After weeks of gray skies and unpredictable spring weather, the sun showed up right on cue—and so did all of you.
